App developers get a boost from B

App developers from China are targeting markets linked to the Belt and Road Initiative's vision, as they seek to expand their presence and create new momentum globally, a new report said on Thursday.

According to the report released on Thursday by App Annie, a US-headquartered mobile analytics company, Chinese app developers are seeing a higher share of downloads in countries and regions alongside the Belt and Road Initiative, and China's influence is expected to grow in the next few years.

Last year, downloads of Chinese apps in the Belt and Road Initiative economies accounted for 55 percent of the total overseas market.
